Rathaus

Fodor's Review

Augsburg's town hall was Germany's largest when it was built in the early 17th century; it's now regarded as the finest secular Renaissance structure north of the Alps. Its Goldener Saal (Golden Hall) was given its name because of its rich decoration—eight pounds of gold are spread over its wall frescoes, carved pillars, and coffered ceiling.
